A job search is not what it used to be or is it? I find too often that when others are finding a job they are using only the Internet. Using the Internet is all fine but you've got to get out there and do the ground work first then use the Internet as a tool not as the only way to go. Fundamentals from the ole days still work. Here's a few tips on how to find a job: Ammo: -Get your resume together that is presentable in a...

I've been using redbox.com for a while now. I like it much better than NetFlix. Basically, RedBox is best for those that only watch a video/movie every now and then and only costs $1.06 a movie. NetFlix charges $8.99/mo. even if you don't use the service. With NetFlix you'd have to watch 9 movies a month (2 movies a weekend) to break even on what you would spend for RedBox. Yea, NetFlix is convenient but there is still a process which you have to follow. RedBox can be very convenient...

Today, we visited the Virginia Aquarium, Virginia Beach, Virginia. If you like marine life this is the place to go. Where else in Virginia is there a Virginia Aquarium? No where...so this must be the best in Virginia right? Right. The aquarium was very well represented...affordable, friendly, knowledgeable staff, clean and good amenities. They offer a combo deal to see one of two IMAX movies about marine life. They have a small grill cafe that serves anything from hamburgers to coffee at a very affordable price. The hamburger platter was...

I had to venture out in the snow this morning to the office. I had to get proofs out for the publisher of the Chesterfield Observer to proof for Monday press time. The news is calling for snow all day on Saturday (January 30, 2010). So I figured I better get to the office early (8:30am) while it's only 2 inches of snow. I had already prepared for the snow so it was easy getting out of the driveway on to the street. I took it slow because I couldn't...

This was our 3rd annual Ukrops 10K. Congratulations to the runners/walkers this year: Sarah Garcia, Victor Garcia, China Garcia-Little (newcomer), Samuel Little and Donna Gregory (newcomer). The weather station was calling for rain over the weekend of the race (March 28, 2009). So we were prepared same as last year for the rain. There is no preparedness for rain...just that you know you're gonna get wet. As race day came it looked like there was not going to be any rain and there wasn't. It was a good day for...
